Sous Vide Lamb Chops with Chimichurri Compound Butter

One of Erika's favorite dishes, she was well aware how tricky lamb can be to get right time after time. Enter, Anova. She uses sous vide to ensure the lamb is succulent and delicious, and pairs this cut with a fresh and vibrant chimichurri compound butter. Elegant enough for a special occasion, but simple enough for a nice night in, this sous vide meal has it all.

Erika snagged her first Anova when she was in college, and she wasn't your typical college student, she needed REAL food and not just packaged ramen and take-out. The Anova was a natural decision, and she's been rolling out ridiculous tasting, and looking, sous vide meals ever since. Find her on Instagram at www.instagram.com/foodandfrenchies
